Kevin Durant’s Back Tattoo May Have Typo

Kevin Durant’s massive back tattoo is done. The only problem is, the Oklahoma City Thunder player’s new inky may have a typo.

Durant’s tattoo obsession was first revealed two summers ago, surprising many of his fans. His self expression began with a series of tattoos covering his torso, but the latest ink covers the basketball player’s entire back.

The new tat has significant meaning to Durant and includes several things like an angel carrying a basketball, two hands depicting a three and a five, for Durant’s number, and the word “Maryland,” as a tribute to the star’s home state.

But the piece apparently wasn’t complete yet. Kevin Durant unveiled the latest addition to his growing tattoo collection on Instagram. Next to a picture of Jesus’ face, Durant has Scripture. Specifically, James 1:2-4. The Bible verse reads:

“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.”

Only one thing. Kevin Durant’s back tattoo appears to have a typo . The final sentence, instead of reading, “mature,” actually appears to say “mautre.” Despite the lessons Durant has had on and off the court, it appears he may have missed one — always spell check, especially on tattoos.

Fortunately, it appears the Oklahoma City Thunder player was able to get the spelling mistake fixed. After picking up on the chatter online about his misspelled back ink, Durant Instagrammed a new picture, captioning it, “I got mature spelled the right way lol.”

Along with getting more ink, Kevin Durant also announced this week his plans to donate $1 million to the victims of the Moore, Oklahoma tornado .
